Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's summary judgment that the owner and general contractor violated Labor Law §240(1), holding them liable for the plaintiff's injuries. It also affirmed the judgment granting common‑law indemnification against the subcontractor painter, rejecting the argument that contractual indemnity barred such recovery.
